Over the top couch potato

May 20, 2009 11.34 Europe/London By Donald Koeleman

ANGA CABLE 2009 – COLOGNE. Verimatrix will bring its latest offering on the way to a common security platform for all devices and networks from a single head-end.

With this VCAS for DVB hybrid content security system, or its VCAS for Cable IPTV sibling, cable operators are able to combine DVB broadcast technology with interactive IP service delivery using a single robust content security architecture.

According to Verimatrix, its VCAS for DVB content security solution will help enable the converged TV phenomenon, with operators “retaining some level of control over the consumer eyeballs”.

According to Verimatrix, “the technological navigational leaps to move between sources of OTT content may not appeal to the average user, watching no more than ten channels on average, who is simply looking for a simple channel up and channel down couch potato interactivity”.

“By integrating advanced third-party CMTS bypass technology with robust VCAS software-based content security, the VCAS for Cable IPTV solution converts an existing cable system to an asymmetric IP network perfectly suited for IPTV”.

“Multicast and unicast streams are delivered to off-the-shelf IP set-top boxes and PCs via low-cost cable modems”.
